At NAB 2015, I showed off the innovative Exhauss Exoskeleton support system at our booth. After spending more time with it, I decided to take a more in-depth look and answer some of the questions that I've been getting about the rig.

Check out the first video for step-by-step instructions on how to assemble the Exhauss system when you first take it out of the case. In my second video below, I'll show you how to adjust the tension on the arms correctly based on the weight of your gimbal and camera setup. I'll also demonstrate how to get in and out of the Exoskeleton by yourself, as well as how to adjust it for proper fit and comfortable operation. I cover the two modes of operation; the "hands-free" mode where you secure the straps around the crossbar of your gimbal, and the more direct approach where you slip your hands through the straps and grip the gimbal normally. Both offer their advantages, but when you slip your hands through the straps you're able to still perform handoffs or pass-throughs since the Exhauss is not directly attached to the gimbal.

Today I met with Adam Najberg at the DJI booth to check out their latest drones. First we looked at the Matrice 600, or the M600, their newest hexicopter with an integrated flight controller including GPS and an upgradeable DRTK module that gives you centimeter-accurate positioning.

Today Ian and I spoke to Pierre Davezac, President and Founder of Exhauss, about the new Exhauss Exoskeleton, a gimbal support system designed to help take the weight off the operator and redistribute it over the core section of their body.
